The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft lifts off from Space Launch Complex 4 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Nov. 21, 2020, at 9:17 a.m. PST (12:17 p.m. EST).
The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS (Continuity of Service) mission consists of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which will be followed by its twin, the Sentinel-6B satellite, in 2025. The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission is part of Copernicus, the European Union's Earth observation program, managed by the European Commission. Continuing the legacy of the Jason series missions, Sentinel-6/Jason-CS will extend the records of sea level into their fourth decade, collecting accurate measurements of sea surface height for more than 90% of the world's seas, and providing crucial information for operational oceanography, marine meteorology, and climate studies. NASA's Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center was responsible for launch management.

Im Oktober 1648 endete in Deutschland der Dreißigjährige Krieg. Ein viertel Jahr später sitzt jemand im Glockenturm der Waiblinger Michaelskirche und ritzt einen Fisch sowie ein markantes Datum in den Sandstein ein, der eines der Turmfenster umfasst: 6. Januar 1649. - Was soll das?
Nun - sicher ist nichts. Aber ich versuche hier mal ein paar interessante Ansätze zu kombinieren, die vielleicht erklären können, was es mit dem Fisch und dem Datum auf sich haben könnte.
Der Fisch ist ein altes Symbol, durch das sich angeblich die frühen Christen untereinander zu erkennen gaben. Er knüpft an Petrus den Fischer an, hat aber auch die Funktion eines Akrostichons: Das altgriechische Wort für Fisch heißt ICHTHYS und lässt sich als Abkürzung für "Iēsoũs Christòs Theoũ Hyiòs Sōtér" lesen - "Jesus Christus Gottes Sohn (und) Erlöser".
Aber das Datum?
Der 6. Januar ist der Dreikönigstag. Im Kirchenjahr heißt dieser Tag Epiphanias, der "Erscheinungstag des Herrn". Das hat damit zu tun, dass bis zur Kalenderreform von 1582 dieser Tag auf den nunmehr 25. Dezember fiel, und damit dem Geburtstag von Jesus Christus entsprach. Das Datum und der Fisch verweisen also beide auf Jesus Christus. Doch wie schon erwähnt: Im Jahr 1582 gab es eine Kalenderreform, die Epiphanias auf den 6. Januar verschob. Nach der Reform definierte die Kirche diesen neuen Dreikönigstag als Beginn ihres Kirchenjahres. Im süddeutschen Raum heißt Dreikönig darum manchmal auch "Neuneujahrstag". Dreikönig war in früheren Jahrhunderten also für Christen der Beginn des neuen Jahres, ein Pendant zu Sylvester. Außerdem ist Dreikönig die letzte der "Zwölf Nächte", die seit dem Weihnachtsabend vergangen sind. Diese Nächte galten im Volksaberglauben als die Zeit, in der die bösen Geister des alten Jahres umgehen.
Die Stadt Waiblingen wurde im Dreißigjährigen fast vollständig niedergebrannt. Ich vermute, dass am Ende des Krieges einige obdachlos gewordene Menschen im Kirchturm lebten. Einer von ihnen hat dann das Datum des ersten Neujahrsbeginns nach dem Krieg in den Stein der Turmwand geritzt, weil er sich eine friedliche Zukunft erhoffte. Aber das kann ich nicht beweisen. Ich mutmaße nur, dass es so gewesen sein könnte.
January 6th, 1649
In Germany Thirty Years' War was finished in October 1648. A quarter of a year later somebody scratched a fish and this date into the wall of the tower of Waiblingen's church. - What does it mean?
Well - I am not sure. But I want to try to combine some interesting approaches which may be due to explain this inscription.
The fish is said to be an old symbol that was used by early Christians to recognize each other. It reminds to Saint Peter, the fisherman, but it also works as an acrostic: in Ancient Greek the word for fish is ICHTHYS and that can be read as "Iēsoũs Christòs Theoũ Hyiòs Sōtér" - "Jesus Christ Godfather's Son (and) Saviour".
But what does the date stand for?
The 6th of January is Epiphany. Epiphany means "manifestation" or "striking appearance" and the term was in use to express the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. Until the year of 1582 Epiphany fell together with 25th December, the day of Jesus' birth. But in 1582 the calendar system has been reformed by integrating eleven days, and so Epiphany became the sixth day of January. This new Epiphany was defined as the beginning of the liturgical year. In so far it was a pendant to New Year's Day. And finally Epiphany was the "Twelfth Night" as it is known from Shakespeare - the last of the spooky nights after Christmas.
The city of Waiblingen has been burned down more or less completely in course of Thirty Years' War. I suppose that at the end of the war some people who became homeless lived inside the church steeple. One of them had the idea to carve the fish and the date of the beginning new year into to tower's wall. I think he was full of hope for a peaceful future without war.

I've been playing around with the preset filters in Lightroom some more today. I've really been liking this filter, but it doesn't work well with much so it was great to get a photo that works.
Music has always been a part of my life. My mother has a photograph of me sitting with my great-grandmother at her piano when I was probably 2 or 3 years old. I played a myriad of instruments throughout grade school and college and still play clarinet and piano. Needless to say, learning an instrument has never been too difficult for me. Guitar however.....I've never met with something so difficult to learn. I absolutely love it because I can sing along with myself, but it is proving hard to wrap my brain around. One of these days I hope to be able to do more than just strum.
I caught this tumbling satellite in 3 of my star trails sub exposures around 9pm GMT from Oxfordshire, UK. I used CalSky.com to try and identify it and I believe it is Yaogan 6 (34839 2009-01-A)

I'm slowly working my way around the car. I've moved a foot or so from the wheel (Shots here and here) to the badge on the front left wing.
I'm enjoying using the single strip box with a mask, effectively making it a 130cm x 15cm sliver of light. It brings out the shape of the body work so nicely. I also positioned the light so that it's reflection completely filled the front face of the badge.

Before its massive 29-ft. hearth breathed its last in 1984 at the age of 21, Dorothy No. 6 blast furnace at the United States Steel Duquesne Works was the largest in the world. The fight by steelworkers to save Dorothy, possibly as an employee-owned company, became the symbol for trying to preserve the steel industry in the area - and the loss of the fight became the death knell of the days of Big Steel in the Mon Valley.
With its stylized blast furnace logo, this is the gate to the outdoor patio of the new Dorothy 6, an innovative and nostalgic restaurant on 8th Avenue in Homestead, the heart of what was area’s largest steel town.
"If we can't pour steel, we'll pour beer" the chalkboard says.

REV67-6 CONQUEST
Class: Light
[Information]
Porcelain in appearance yet deadly
Designed as a testing platform for new weapons it has now stolen by the legendary mercenary known as Drifter, armed to the teeth the frame and pilot roam the battlefields striking terror into the enemy and gaining respect from allies.
The Drifter was an orphan of war forced to migrate from one place to another after her home was destroyed by rivaling nations. Now without a home or family Drifter now seeks revenge as a soldier of fortune.
The suit can be equipped with numerous armaments which can be stored under the skirt armor with its signature weapon being the lever action rifle shotgun nicknamed “Blind Justice”
[Build Notes]
Made this a long time ago but I never got to finish it properly, so after a few tweaks I finally did. I was inspired by the appearance of swans and their large wings and I tried to incorporate that in the form of the removable skirt armor. I haven’t listed any of the armaments yet since it’ll be too long but all in all it can store around 11 unique weapons, maybe in the future post some photos of them individually. Anywho tell me what you guys think about it in the comments thanks!
